He disclosed that the 155 new cases were recorded in eight states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The NCDC boss said that his agency had activated a multi-sectoral national Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) at Level III to coordinate the national response.

He advised the management of schools to provide adequate COVID-19 protective equipment, train their sickbay staff and also ensure the safe disposal of wastes from sickbay to prevent infection.

“We have to take responsibility to stay safe as schools reopen.

“It is crucial to limit the risk of COVID-19 infection across all ages. Parents should take responsibility to protect their children.
